September 21, 201113 yr Author My only complaint. Is that my FI Logo keeps peeling up. :suicide-santa: Wtf guys?!
September 22, 201113 yr Author Did my best to set my EQ and XOver's today. Started out on AC/DC. made that sound good. Then moved over to Michael Jackson. This is It. Orchestra version. That song is beautiful on a great system. And it sounds pretty damned good in my truck if i do say so myself. lol.make fun all you want. But I love the music Michael Jackson produced. No matter what he was as a person. Then I added my sub tonight. Set my gain. Played around goin through my entire ipod on my HU to see what sounded good. Everything did at Full Tilt. lmfao. after like 45 minutes of playin around. I set it on Bass Mekanik LowD SlowD and let it go through a few songs for about 15~25 minutes.Now i'm here. lol. I'll still be tuning for a while on the EQ. But the Sub is done. :woot: P.S. My Logo was flying around. So i pealed it off. lol. No more Logo. Edited September 22, 201113 yr by Brett_the_Vandal
September 22, 201113 yr I'm not sure why these companies continue to put cheap stickers on their dustcaps when they just keep coming off. You would think they'd want the logo to stay on for advertising purposes.
September 22, 201113 yr Yeah I jam some Michael Jackson on my system too, it sounds so good with the Epic-160
September 30, 201113 yr Author So i was tinkering in my garage. Preppin my Dirt Scooter's engine for when my crank shaft gets ready. And i decided I'd paint one of my black FI Vinyls. This is how it turned out. What you guys think?Had Hemi Orange sittin around for my Charger's engine block. So i went ahead and threw it down. Took nearly 4 coats to cover the black with this color. But i think it turned out alright.
September 30, 201113 yr Author Why stop at the colors that FI offers??there's plenty of paints out there. Took some work. But. Well worth it. thanks!
October 11, 201113 yr Author nice parts, coming together nicelyThanks! I've kinda run dry for now. Blew my main fuse the other night tryina get to my jack. Fuckin screw. Painted logo looks good!!Thanks!! I've got a few things that still need to be done. But i've lacked motivation lately.
